Movies that “go from 0-100” in the last 15 or so minutes? (dormi.zone)

Do you have examples of movies that have a huge spike in stakes almost at the end?

Examples: Se7en, Rogue One

Please use spoilers if you want to explain why

Only The Brave.

If you go in without knowing the story, it starts off like the plot arc of a sports movie:

An outsider joins, and struggles to fit in with a close-knit team
The team is trying for a promotion
We see teaching of the team's methods
Victory at a smaller event
Outsider is accepted as part of the team
Long period of training for the big event

Unlike the sports movies, the last few minutes of this are not at all victorious...
